Oh, jeez... That's horrible. [And it's said sincerely, if not with the same amount of shock it would've been several months ago.] Is she alright? I mean, I guess you can never really be okay with something like that, but still.
Still, it must be hard. I bet you'll see her when you go back, though!
Yeah, it's... complicated. There were other Kryptonians still around, but they sort of got into a war with Earth and things were pretty bad for a while there, but Kara's tough.
[She's been through a lot and she still tries to see the best in the world, which is a trait Steph admires.]
[There's more to it than that, but it's complicated and in the end, fear is what it boiled down to. Fear and xenophobia.]
Mmhm, that's what you do when someone's in hospital. [she holds up a hand to cut off the concern she knows is coming.] I was fine, I just needed a blood transfusion.
[She almost says that she hopes Steph gets to find out soon, but realizes she doesn't know as of this moment whether she really wants to go home, and so she lets it go.]
[There's a pause; she still feels weird saying this when so much is different now, but she doubts Steph will pick up on the significance of it. There's a small laugh.]
My father would've just about killed me if he found out I was doing something like that!
[And Steph, apparently, finds that so hilarious she can't talk, since she's too busy covering her mouth with a hand in the interest of not waking up the rest of the houeshold.
[Behind the concern that immediately comes, there's respect for how easily Steph can admit things like that. She knows if it were her, she'd be terrified to tell anybody something like that, even close friends.
Still, there's worry in her voice when she speaks.]
W-What happened? I mean, um, unless it's too personal, and then you can tell me, like, don't ask stuff like that!

Wait, wouldn't he be a wizard instead of a witch?

I'd probably think it was weirder if my world was normal at all... What planet was your alien friend from?
no subject
[Steph misses her.]

[A small pause.]
Sorry she left, though.

[It's possible that Krypton existed and was destroyed, but that Clark and Kara never got away.]
It's okay, she's better off back at home.

I better, she owes me flowers.
[makes sense]

[She blinks.]
Er, flowers?

[And, predictably, a look of concern crosses her face, not fading completely even after Steph's amendment.]
You lost a lot of blood?
no subject
[People suck.
But she shakes her head.]
Nah, I just inhaled something that could've been dangerous if it stayed in my system too long, so they flushed it out.

And you were safe in the hospital and everything?

[what a good mom]

She worries, but she knows that it's what I need to be doing, and she trusts me to stay safe.

My father would've just about killed me if he found out I was doing something like that!
no subject
One moment, please.]
no subject
Um, did I say something?
no subject
[Okay she's good. Maybe.]
My dad's a supervillain, so. I can understand that.
[He nearly threw acid in her face.
Good times with the Brown family.]
